The show comes to a close. I thought overall this was a good series despite some padding issues. I think this could've been wrapped up in 5/6 eps or even a two part movie imo.
Great cast regardless. Amanda Seyfried completely dominates this show start to finish. I actually wanted her in every scene, she's that good!
The final scream accompanied by her instant switch to smile is so chilling, perfect.
Naveen Andrews is just as strong playing the abusive manipulator Sunny. I can't believe those poor former employees put up with such a child.
Sam Waterson still owns it from his prime days on Law and Order. Playing the prideful man till till very last moment was great, Dylan Minnette also played a good hand here and finally the underdog of this show would be Stephen Fry, always a class act.
Upon finishing the episode, I finally realized what I felt was missing overall and that was atmosphere and directing. It's to put it frankly, plain. It didn't feel as immersive as it should've been. Ig I've been too spoiled by shows like Breaking Bad, Saul, sopranos, the wire, ect. But still, seems the director had this point and shoot method. It all felt cut and dry I'd say. It started very strong though and it lost its energy by the end.
Still worth a watch though.
